have been training jiu jitsu for a bit now and I wanted to find a gym that would fit me a little better: I'm a young professional so I'm not exactly aiming to be a cage fighter. I also wanted to be able to train with someone who managed to teach on my level (read: I have no wrestling or mma experience) and encourage my flabby self to keep going back to the gym.\r

I was really glad to have found Master Kai. From the start you see that he is a no frills guy who just loves to fight & teach. He's very approachable and not one of those biker tattoos looking fighters. He'll tell you that there are no secrets, just hard training. But he'll find ways to subtly encourage you to come back to training, even if that 150 LBS guy keeps mercilessly destroying you. And you'll realize this isn't part of his whole marketing scheme to get you to sign up: come talk to him after class, or hit him up for on Facebook, and he'll be glad to talk to you about your ""game"" and what you can do better. And most importantly he'll tell you about the things he went through as well, because when he started he had no fighting experience either. It's always a strange relief to hear someone else had such troubles!\r

The classmates were also very nice--their experience ranged so I felt comfortable training with the new guys like me and the experienced ones. Anyone will tell you that learning mma is an experience where you both teach and learn, and i really felt like there was a small community here.\r
\r
The gym is also very clean, and that's not something you usually find in fight gyms, so I was very happy for that.\r

I'd recommend this place to anyone wishing to start on their fighting journey. I'd recommend it to experienced people as well because, come on, the guy is a Hall of famer
